Bistro Update

No pictures today, but I have finished the final sanding of the bistro table. All of the corners have been rounded over and the table is now ready to be finished.

I have practiced my finishing method for the table:1) shellac - applied to seal the knots to prevent them from bleeding through the paint2) 1st coat of primer3) wood filler - to fill any imperfections that become visible after the 1st coat of primer is applied4) 2nd coat of primer5, 6 & 7) coat of exterior white latex - a light sanding will be done with 220 grit sandpaper after step 5 and 6.

I'll post pictures again after the shellac has been applied and then again when the table is completed.
